do you, do you, do you wanna dance?
and then there are moments when you can say that, "hey, life's not that tough."
it was really awesome watching my favorite live act again.
hindi pala talaga sila nakakasawa. even if you've heard a particular song ten times already, it's still as fresh as it can get. maybe it's the energy...or maybe the good feeling you get when you hear that style. hmm, ewan ko.
i had butterflies in my stomach when our car stopped by the entrance of
the bellevue.
i also felt ridiculously tense when we reached the 20th floor of the building. buti na lang, i am one of those people who are very hard to read. kaya siguro hindi nahalata ng ate ko. hehehe.
i thought the place was kind of small. my sister decided to settle on a not-so-distant place, a table away from the stage, though we were the first ones to arrive (
sabi niya eh). she said she might get deaf again, like the last time when we were sitting in front, beside the gigantic speakers. but i had fun, even if my right ear couldn't hear much after that. haha. anyway, since we hadn't eaten after the movie, we ordered our dinner there. their prices were a bit high though. guess it's because we're in a hotel. *shrug*
then, the tuesday band (i forgot what their name was) began playing at 8pm. i don't know what exactly was their genre, but i'm pretty sure they covered a lot of the popular songs from the past decades. and we found ourselves singing while eating while joking around.
(are there members of the band reading this? 'cause i'll be embarrassed if they do. hahaha.)
at 830, my sister had excused herself to the restroom when i caught the sight of rocky, the drummer. i then thought they had arrived a bit early, or the more reasonable,
just in time. when she came back, she told me that she had passed by the band. she also told me to go to the restroom too, so that i could catch a near glimpse of them. i kind of declined at first, but i decided
what the heck? i needed to go anyways. as i walked down the hall, i saw them walking towards the bathroom too. yeah, too bad that the only thing i could do was follow them. hahaha.
after that i came back and sat down. and suddenly i became really, really tense (thanks also to the aircon right above us)...i was somewhat shivering. a few more moments and i saw rocky and louie--the bassist (i think he smiled at me! well, i don't know; there was no one behind me) pass by our table and sit on the furthermost seating at our left. lakan, the keyboardist, soon followed them. however, the brothers (pepe and jay jay--both on guitars) stopped by on one of the tables.
commercial: i find this funny, telling all the details, and yet, the show hadn't even started. :P
after some time, pepe passed by too, and--
this i'm very sure--he was smiling at me. of course he's best known for his killer smile. my sister didn't notice it though. and i haven't told her. haha. he sat down with them, and everyone was preparing, blah blah...we'll skip this one out.
i'm going to take forever if i put more details in everything...so, better write about the highlights:
* they played some of my favorite beatles songs which i hadn't known they do:
tell me why,
you can't do that, and
you really got a hold on me. i got a hunch that they can play
tell me why, but it's not 100%.
* i was suprised to learn that jay jay can play the harmonica. they sang
love me do there.
* when someone requested for
yesterday, my sister and i were amused that only jay jay was singing and playing the song, whereas everybody else just stood there, resting and drinking water.
* i
absolutely loved it when they switched places for
hound dog: rocky on guitars, jay jay on drums, lakan on bass and louie on the keyboards (pepe was still on guitars). louie even went around the keyboards on the instrumental part. that was funny.
* as usual, they had the most energy exerted i have ever seen.
* and because of that energy, louie and jay jay's guitar straps fell off separately.
* rocky's drum solo was longer than before, i think.
* we got on our feet on the last song only, though. i wanted to dance, kaya lang nakakahiya.
* there were three mics, and yet they only used two.
* they tried their best to make up for a request they couldn't play.
* the show was full of their witty comments and hilarious acts. it was fun just by watching them have fun.
i guess that was it. i have more, but i'll just keep it to myself. hehe.
oops. didn't mean to get this long...i guess i had too much fun. what more if my best friend had come along? :)
